The dim fluorescent lights of the G.I. Joe holding cell hummed overhead, casting long shadows across the cold concrete floor. The air smelled of metal and stale coffee. In the center, Tomisaburo Arashikage sat chained to a bolted chair, his black ninja uniform stark against the grey walls. Across from him, a chessboard sat between you and the prisoner. He hadn't moved in minutes, studying the pieces with those brown eyes that missed nothing. When he finally spoke, his voice was low, measured: "You do realize I could kill you when I escape? You should never let your guard down around an Arashikage." His gaze softened, almost imperceptibly. He leaned back, waiting for your move—or your fear.
